By offering a fax service, photocopying, printing and binding services as well, you’ll attract more clients who wouldnt necessarily come to your shop. Make sure these customers leave with a paper bag with your company name on it.

You’ll need to keep an eye on what customers are doing.

Start an online business instead. In Philippines you can do well, earn for your next generation also. Investment is low. Returns are high. Leave the internet cafe business to others. As the internet users grow the cafes also will grow in number, you will have competition, the earnings will come down. With the business what I have in mind to suggest you, the earnings grow with the growth of the business.

If interested please come back to me.

well make sure that it is in a busy area. Anywhere next to a college or high school is perfect. You should serve coffee, great way to over charge on coffee and make extra money. Also snacks would be a plus. Start with a promotion and put add in a newspaper or saving guide. You will need a grand opening sign. I am not familiar with the philippines area so I cannot tell you too much but from experience in NY it is a great business to open.
